$\gamma$ rays emitted from the ${\mathrm{Sc}}^{45}(p,p^{\prime }\gamma )$ reaction have been observed at proton energies of 2.8, 3.2, and 3.6 MeV. A total of 28 $\gamma$-ray transitions were observed to be associated with the decay of 14 levels known from previous reaction studies. Some possible spin assignments have been deduced from the observed $\gamma$-ray branching ratios.
